Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the controller's exceptional overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. Users also frequently praise the device's comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality tactile feel. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the durability of the buttons and bumpers, as well as the early onset of stick drift. Despite these technical frustrations and the premium price point, many still consider it a top-tier gaming accessory.

    Great controller, especially for its quality and hand feel. I love its customized button and the vibrate it performs for certain games like Need for Speed.

    So far I really like this controller. Button customization is nice, control feels really solid and being able to just drop it in the case and charge is awesome

    Left bumper failing after 7 months

    Best controller I’ve owned by far. Worth the price, BUT 7 months in after medium use (~500 hours?) and the left bumper is becoming inconsistent. It registers a press ~75% of the time and I expect it to keep getting worse. I looked it up and this seems to be a common issue unfortunately. I would expect better longevity for the price you pay.

    My only complaint is that it's heavier than standard controllers but it's understandable. Honestly I don't think I can go back to regular controllers.

    This is the controller the system should come with. It’s fantastic, although I still find myself preferring the dual sense for its haptics.
